Gem New 65PPQ 1777 Black Note

Pennsylvania April 10, 1777 1 Shilling Black Fr. PA-213a. PCGS
Gem New 65PPQ.
The April 10, 1777 shilling denominated notes were a radical
departure in size and design from previous series. The notes were
wider format and printed in black or in red and black. Though black
denomination types are generally easier to find, strictly
Uncirculated notes, especially Gem, are very rarely offered. This
is the only Uncirculated example graded by PCGS and is obviously
the top population note for the type. This shilling note has the
added plus of its full sheet edge at the top. A nearly perfect
example with immaculate surfaces and spot-on face-to-back
registration. A condition rarity and worthy of liberal bidding.Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists.
Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud?
Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles?
Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
